“Daddy, Mommy, look! Nigel is blushing! He’s blushing because I said what was on his mind!”Nigel immediately retorted, “No, you didn’t!”Nellie laid on Nigel. “I did, I did, I did!”The two children happily fooled around. Luna and Joshua could not help but smile.However, Neil, who had been in the corner, looking at them, furrowed his brows a little. The next second, he kept the Rubik’s cube, stood up, and silently went upstairs. Luna noticed every single action he did. Her smile immediately stiffened. After a moment, she took a deep breath, lowered her gaze, and looked at the man in the wheelchair. Joshua was also looking at Neil leaving, clearly noticing Neil’s reaction.“I’ll go have a look,” said Luna. She took a deep breath and followed Neil upstairs.Neil silently headed upstairs and walked into the kid’s bedroom. He quietly climbed to the upper bunk bed and lied down on the bed, looking at the ceiling in a daze.Luna carefully pushed the door and entered. The moment
Hypocrisy. Pretentious.Luna could not help but retreat a step back upon hearing those words. She bit her lips and looked at the child in front of her closely.This was her own child, Neil. This was Neil who, the moment he knew what happened, would take care of her and his siblings.Luna was just concerned for her son; what she got in return was being called a hypocrite and being pretentious. She knew that this was not Neil’s intention. He would only say things like this because he had lost his memory.Her heart ached nonetheless.Luna suppressed the urge to cry, and she tried hard to force a smile.“Jake, I’m just being concerned for you. It’s alright if you don’t like it. Why do you have to say such hurtful words?”The hurt in Luna’s heart made Neil’s heart stutter a little. A kind of emotion similar to heartbreak arose in his heart inexplicably, which made him a little annoyed.Neil took a deep breath. “Luna, I’ve already said that my mother and I are here to seek revenge.
However, Joshua’s face inexplicably appeared on Neil’s mind.What happened was…On the night of Luna’s birthday, when Neil went to look for Joshua, Joshua did not even seem surprised. It was as if he long expected Neil would turn out.Neil did not bother saying much to him. He immediately picked up the knife and aimed it at Joshua’s stomach. However, he could not do it.He knew that as long as he did what his mother asked of him, Uncle Theo would not suffer that much anymore.Neil also knew that Joshua, the man in front of him, was someone who had done something wrong to him. The scumbag who wronged his mother.It would not be a pity if Joshua died. He deserved it.However, the moment Neil picked up the knife, every fiber of his being resisted him. In the end, he still did not stab Joshua.Looking at him hesitating, Joshua laughed. “Why? You can’t do it?”Joshua smiled and looked at Neil. “But if I’m not hurt, you’ll be punished, right?”Joshua’s calm look made Neil, who ha
Luna suppressed the detest in her heart. “Michael Lynch, I think you should be clear that our so-called engagement last night was only a ploy due to an emergency. I don’t intend to marry you, and I don’t want to discuss a marriage date with you either.”“Is that so?” Michael, on the other end of the line, chuckled. “But, Luna, the news of our engagement and the photos of you trying to kiss me on stage last night is all over the news. If you were to look at any news channel in Banyan City, you’ll receive the notifications.”Michael bawled out in laughter. “I’ll advise you to immediately meet me right now. Otherwise, I might tell the press how my fiancée is living with her fiancé’s brother in the same house…“Think about what that would do to your reputation.”Luna squinted coldly upon hearing Michael’s words.After a while, she bit her lip. “Address.”Michael, on the other end of the line, started laughing arrogantly once again. “I’ll be waiting for you at Bamboo Palace! See you t
Luna just sat down in front of Michael when he laughed. He sipped on his tea as he shot Luna a wink.“The reporters have been waiting for you for a long time!”Luna paused a little before realizing outside the floor-length window of Bamboo Palace were a few paparazzi hiding in the dark, taking shots of them.Luna furrowed her brows. “You called the paparazzi?”“Of course.” Michael smiled. “The status of me being the Lynch family’s Second Young Master was reinstated by you last night, darling fiancee. You’re so nice to me, and plus, you’re my fiancée. Naturally, I’d want the whole world to know that we were on a date!”Luna narrowed her eyes fiercely. She immediately drew the curtains.“How despicable!”Michael laughed. “Thank you for the praise.”He leaned back nonchalantly, looking at Luna. “But, let me remind you that I am now your fiancé. You can simply insult me in any way you like, but all these in other people’s eyes are just us flirting with each other.“I, on the other
Luna narrowed her eyes, looking at this man who thought too highly of himself.It was because she did not want to get involved with people like Michael, and that was why she was willing to offer money to settle this incident.Luna did not feel that 200,000 dollars were little. After all, the engagement was decided at the last minute the night before. From beginning to end, Michael did not lose out on anything.Luna did not know where he got the courage and confidence from. How dare he ask her for half of Joshua’s fortune.Luna took a deep breath, suppressing the rage in her heart as she then shot Michael a dagger-like stare. “Micheal, I know you want to go up against Joshua. I also know that you want the Lynch Group assets in his hands, but…”Luna sneered. “You want to use my marriage as capital to get Joshua’s assets? Aren’t you being a little delusional? I’m the one making a deal with you. I’m the one who doesn’t want to get married to you. Not Joshua. Do you think you’ll be abl
“No need to thank me. I would’ve done it, too.”The man’s voice was deep and charming. It had hints of mockery and teasing in them, too.Michael paused for a while and subconsciously turned around to look. The man holding him up was no one else but his stepbrother, Joshua.Joshua was sitting in his wheelchair. His gaze was flat.“Second Young Master Michael, you really can’t take a beating, can you? Such a petite woman like Luna only slapped you once, yet you can’t even stand properly already. Adrian always emphasized health, so how did he bring you up so badly?”Michael’s eyes widened. He licked his lips and looked at Joshua with rage in his eyes.“Adrian is also your father!”Joshua raised his brows and laughed. “Is he worthy to be my father?”Then, Joshua rolled his wheelchair over to Luna and looked at her calmly. “So you came here to flirt with him once the rain subsided?”Joshua emphasized the word ‘flirt’. Luna pursed her lips. Clearly, Joshua had overheard Michael talk
Seeing Joshua stop, a hint of delight flashed across Michael’s eyes.This trick worked! Joshua still cared about Luna!Michael immediately took a deep breath and continued his threats, “Joshua, you might not know this, but Luna had offered me two hundred thousand dollars to call off the marriage, but I turned it down. If you’re willing to recognize me as the Second Young Master of the Lynch family, I will—”Joshua sneered and turned around. He looked at Michael coldly.“Why should I get you to call off the marriage?” Joshua interrupted Michael. His deep gaze bore into Michael. His tone was aloof and condescending.“Since you like to be her fiancé so much, you can continue being her fiancé. We’ll take it slowly.”Then, Joshua turned his wheelchair around and left.Michael was stunned momentarily before he angrily chased after Joshua.“Don’t you care about Luna? I am her fiancé, and I have the right to do things to her!”Joshua did not even turn around. “Then, she has the right
